The 11 Best Albums of 2010 (#1-#11)

I recently picked up a new computer and had to go through (actually still going through) the arduous task of transferring my colossal music library to a new computer.  Maybe it's wrong of me to not let Itunes do the automated filing system.  I prefer my music where I want it.  So when Itunes decided that my choice was wrong and it would just arrange my music how they see fit...it basically set me back to 2007 where I originally began my rating and playlisting.  Starting from scratch is not fun...and neither is trying to figure out how entire albums are oddly missing from my digital library.  Way to go itunes.  It still amazes me another company hasn't come along to easily swoop in and put you in your place.

I promise to get the master 111 albums of the year out to you guys soon.  Just as soon as itunes lets me.


Here are the 11 Best Albums of 2010 (according to me):

  1. The Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
  2. Eminem – Recovery
  3. The Black Keys – Brothers (Ohio)
  4. Superchunk – Majesty Shredding
  5. The Naked and Famous – Passive Me, Aggressive You (Frayed)
  6. Klaxons – Surfing The Void  (Sorcerer City)
  7. MGMT – Congratulations
  8. Massive Attack – Heliogoland (United Snakes)
  9. Morcheeba – Blood Like Lemonade
  10. Cee-Lo Green – Lady Killer
  11. Warpaint – The Fool

    as much as i enjoy my ipod, itunes definitely likes to play mind games. i absolutely know what you mean about wanting my music where I want it.
    from my own experience, your 'missing albums' may be in compilations or various artists...whatever itunes may deem appropriate. 'album artist' is another field that trips me up sometimes. best of luck starting over.

    Happy New Year!

    Please consider reviewing our music.

    Pharmakon MTL is a project based on improvisation from Montreal, Canada. We are typically 2 musicians and two vocalists. Ableton Live is the glue that keeps it all together. We press record and just play whatever comes naturally. Once we've finished, or after we have almost too much music to deal with, we choose the best pieces and ship them off to our producer for editing. There is no premeditation or composition in our music. Everything is spur of the moment and improvised. Making music this way is cathartic and a lot like abstract art.

    You can read about us in this recent blog post:

    Our album is slated for release on January 18th in the US (Feb 18 in Canada and Germany). If you like what you hear, I'd be happy to send you a track or perhaps two (of your choice) to post on your blog in advance of the release.

    Please let me know what you think.

    Peace.
